Welcome!

The Richmond Hill K9 Klub is the community organization that was instrumental in the successful opening of the Leash-free Dog Parks in Richmond Hill, Ontario. In partnership with the Town of Richmond Hill, the K9 Klub maintains the facilities and educates park users of rules and appropriate park etiquette.  We actively promote responsible dog ownership, community stewardship and we regularly participate in and host local events for dog related recreation.

To keep in touch with the status of the parks and other dog related news and events, please ensure you are on our monthly newsletter list. Just click on the “Get our Newsletter” button in the right margin.  Here you can register as a new subscriber or, if the system recognizes your email, you’ll be able to update your profile more completely.  Rest assured we do not share any of this information without your permission.
